Said at the till
From our customers
The care card said water the snake plant every two weeks. I was drowning it every day. It is finally growing.
They planted bougainvillea along our gate in Ekpan and checked on it a month later. It is now a wall of purple.
Our office in Effurun is full of their plants. The maintenance team visits every fortnight and nothing has died.
Come and wander
Open every day from 8am to 6pm on Jakpa Road, Effurun. Free parking, shade, cold zobo, and staff who will tell you honestly if a plant suits your house.
